Californian sound artist Z'EV has four days left
to reach his target of $5,000 to develop a refined version of his
Cine-cussion project, which is based on experiments with
visible sound waves and vibration patterns (Cymatics).

Z'EV started work on Cine-cussion in 2009, and
developed a four inch speaker, with a thin plastic membrane covered
in water. The Kickstarter funding will pay for further development
of the hardware so that it's practically possible to take it on
tour, plus the money to buy a five pad trigger to MIDI set, and to
pay for the writing of an audio sampling program, a laptop and
projector.

Rewards run from one-off recordings of Cine-cussion, to
a bundle which includes a first edition of Z'EV's
Rhythmajik (a book on the rhythmic and magical uses of
sound). Watch a Cine-cussion video below. More details
here.
